Referring to the accompanying drawings by nnmera s, 1 indicates a front lace corset of any desired type. This corset is provided ect of the invention is to pro; p

.with a'central rear section 2 of'fabric ofany desired kind and supplied with 'the usual elastic gussets 3 and 4. The upper part of the section 2 is provided with a special secof stitching 6. The section 5 carries a nuniber of straps 7,'end straps 7 and7 having their vertical edges stitched down in any desired manner, as for instance, by lines of :tion' secured to section 2 by suitable linesl f stitching 8 and. 9 whereby when the various li'nes of. stitching 10 are pockets'll will be end straps 7 and 7 laced in position,

The lines of stitching rovi ed' in each of the 10 divide up the other straps so asto present a nuinbei of passage-ways 12 through which a retaining member 13 ma spaces thus provided, straps 15, 16 and 17 connected to the lower edge of the rear part of the brassire 14 are fitted. In order'to prevent the retaining member 13 from Wearing the material-of the brassire 14, a protecting tape 18 is stitched to the brassire.

p be forced and 'in which the retaining inem er may be pogp.

tioned toconnect the corset 1 with the-bras- Iii-the particular construction shown 'in the drawing, there are provided three straps l15, 16 a'nd 17 and, consequently, there are provided four co-acting straps on the corset though it isevident that the number of straps could be varied without departing from the spirit of the invention. Also it is revidentpthat instead. of using an ordinary corset steel 13, tape,"`ribbon or other means might be substituted and act as a connecting member -for connecting the arts-together. It is tobe understood that tie straps7 on the corset are arranged exteriorly thereof while the straps 15, 16. and 17 on the brassire Vare arranged interiorly thereor` so that these straps will readily interlock as shown in Figure 2 so as to connect the two garments together and yet allow both garments tol function inde endently as well as 'function together. y connecting the brassire in this manner to the corset, a smooth even construction is presented and the brassire is held from rising at the rear. lf desired, a hook or other means could be used for tying the brassire to the lacing of the corset at the front.
